How Technology Is Changing The Market For Energy Commodities
https://www.thetrustedinsight.com/investment-news/how-technology-is-changing-the-market-for-energy-commodities-20170629730/
<p>An experiment performed by a startup in Brooklyn, New York, in 2016&nbsp;<a href="https://www.fastcompany.com/3058201/this-new-york-project-fuses-energy-microgrids-with-blockchain-technology" target="_blank">could be a harbinger</a>&nbsp;of the future of the energy industry.</p>
<p>In the experiment, individuals were able to trade energy generated by solar panels between each other using the same blockchain technology that undergirds the bitcoin cryptocurrency. Though it was just a small test, the Brooklyn experiment showed blockchain technology is poised to become a major factor in the energy sector by shaking up the way commodities are traded.</p>

WHY INVEST IN A GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY HEDGE FUND?
The technology sector has traditionally served as an essential constituent in any investment portfolio, and we believe that innovation and invention often associated with this sector will ultimately drive the next leg of growth in the stock market. We seek out technology companies that have proprietary technologies which will provide them with the competitive advantage for sustainable growth, and favor companies that have a stellar track record in pushing the frontiers of technology in their respective subsectors. At BSD, we believe buying and holding these companies and are trading at reasonable valuations will maximize our returns and minimize our risks over the long term.

CHART: Hedge Fund Commodity Bulls Misread The Market
https://www.thetrustedinsight.com/investment-news/chart-hedge-fund-commodity-bulls-misread-the-market-20170531989/
After twelve months building momentum (with a big wobble in the middle) hedge funds bullish bets on commodities hit at a record high in February this year. Turns out the smart money was too optimistic about the strength and length of China&rsquo;s economic recovery and the timing and scale of US stimulus under new leadership. Large scale speculators or managed money investors in agriculture, energy and metals commodity futures and options have now slashed bullish positioning by 64% from the February peak. Ole Hansen, chief commodity strategist at Saxo Bank, says the main reason behind the loss of confidence is...

Shale Leaves Wall Street Unable To Guess Where Oil Prices Are Heading
https://www.thetrustedinsight.com/investment-news/shale-leaves-wall-street-unable-to-guess-where-oil-prices-are-heading-20170410367/
The shale oil boom has transformed the U.S. and global energy sector to such an extent that it has upended traditional supply dynamics and made forecasts far more polarized. Investment banks, many of which finance new projects, along with oil majors such as Total and Eni, have warned that huge spending cuts caused by a plunge in oil prices since 2014 would lead to a supply crunch in the next two years. Yet Goldman Sachs, the only bank to make more than $1 billion a year from commodities trading, believes a looming recovery in U.S. output on the back of...

Five Reasons Why Hedge Funds In Danger Zone On Commodities
https://www.thetrustedinsight.com/investment-news/five-reasons-why-hedge-funds-in-danger-zone-on-commodities-20170407314/
Hedge funds&rsquo; speculative positions are at &ldquo;pretty elevated levels&rdquo; in commodities amid signs of ample inventories in some materials and concerns over the outlook for demand in China, according to JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co.&nbsp; Momentum measures and futures positioning in some assets are likely to turn &ldquo;incrementally more negative,&rdquo; especially for base metals, said Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou, global market strategist at JPMorgan.&nbsp;In March, the Bloomberg Commodity Index posted the biggest monthly loss since July. These charts show why a sell-off among hedge funds could emerge&nbsp;in coming months. Speculative positions in crude oil &ldquo;have declined from overbought to average levels, but we...

Why Commodities Could Be On The Verge Of Massive Surge
https://www.thetrustedinsight.com/investment-news/why-commodities-could-be-on-the-verge-of-massive-surge-20170310345/
After finishing 2016 up 25 percent, commodities are getting another boost from bullish investors. Investment bank Citigroup forecasts commodity prices will increase this year on strengthening demand in China and mounting inflation inspired by President Donald Trump&rsquo;s &ldquo;America First&rdquo; policies. Commodity assets under management globally stood at $391 billion in January, up 50 percent from the same time the previous year, according to Citigroup. Meanwhile, hedge fund managers significantly raised their bets that copper and oil prices have much further to climb, Bloomberg reported, with net-long positions in the Comex and Nymex markets surging to all-time highs. In addition, global...

US Mines Produced An Estimated $74.6B In Minerals During 2016
https://www.thetrustedinsight.com/investment-news/us-mines-produced-an-estimated-746b-in-minerals-during-2016-20170227934/
Release Date:January 31, 2017United States mines in 2016 produced an estimated $74.6&nbsp;billion of raw mineral materials, a slight increase from 2015, the U.S. Geological Survey announced today.[embedded content]The National Minerals Information Center, the primary agency for collecting and analyzing nonfuel minerals information, releases the 2017 Mineral Commodity Summaries, a collection of reports on over 85 commodities essential to the U.S. economy and national security.Christopher Tuck, USGS National Minerals Information Center.&nbsp;Public domain.The information comes from the 40th annual Mineral Commodity Summaries report, the earliest comprehensive source of 2016 mineral production data for the world. It includes statistics on more than 88 mineral commodities that are important to the U.S. economy and national security. The report identifies events, trends and issues in the domestic and international minerals industries.&ldquo;The Mineral Commodity Summaries provide crucial, unbiased statistics that decision makers and policy makers, in both the private and public sectors, rely on&nbsp;to make business decisions and national policy,&rdquo; said Steven M. Fortier, Director of the USGS National Minerals Information Center.&nbsp;&ldquo;Industries &ndash; such as steel, aerospace and electronics &ndash; processed non-fuel mineral materials and created an estimated $2.8 trillion&nbsp;in value added products in 2016, which contributed 15 percent to the total U.S. Gross Domestic Product.&rdquo;One key finding from the report is during 2016,&nbsp;the U.S. was 100 percent import reliant on 20&nbsp;mineral commodities, including rare earths, manganese and niobium, which are among a suite of materials often designated as &ldquo;critical&rdquo; or &ldquo;strategic&rdquo; because they are essential to the economy and their supply may be disrupted. This number has increased from just 11 commodities in 1984.Some other significant findings in the new report on domestic mineral production include:Rare Earths:The suspension of U.S.&nbsp;rare-earth&nbsp;mining in late 2015 resulted in a significant decline in&nbsp;domestic&nbsp;exports of rare-earth compounds in 2016. U.S. imports of rare-earth compounds and metals increased by 6 percent compared with those in 2015.Aluminum:U.S. production of primary aluminum decreased for the fourth consecutive year, declining by about 47 percent in 2016 to the lowest level since 1951.&nbsp;During the year, three primary smelters were&nbsp;shut down reducing production capacity by more than 700,000 metric tons per year. U.S. imports of aluminum (crude and&nbsp;semi-manufactures) increased by 18 percent in 2016.Iron Ore:U.S. iron ore production decreased&nbsp;by 11 percent&nbsp;in 2016. Six iron ore mines in the United States had either been idled, reduced production, or closed permanently.&nbsp;Steel produced from basic oxygen furnaces, which consume iron ore,&nbsp;declined&nbsp;in 2016.Diamond (industrial):The United States is likely to continue as one of the world&rsquo;s leading markets for industrial diamond into the next decade and will probably remain a significant producer and exporter of synthetic industrial diamond as well. National demand for industrial diamond is likely to be strong in the construction sector as the United States continues building, milling and repairing the country&rsquo;s highway system.Salt:The 2015&ndash;16 winter was warmer than average for the first time in several years, and the amount of frozen precipitation and the number of winter weather events was below average in many parts of the United States, requiring less salt for highway de-icing. Rock salt production and imports in 2016 decreased 7 percent and 42 percent, respectively from the levels estimated in 2015 because of decreased demand from many local and State transportation departments.Cement:On a year-on-year basis, monthly cement sales in 2016 varied widely and the overall increase for the year was lower than had been expected at yearend 2015. Construction spending levels were moderately higher during the year, however, continued low oil and gas prices significantly limited the amount of oil and gas well drilling. This reduced the consumption of general and oil well cements for this activity, which contributed to lower overall cement sales in a number of States, especially Texas.The United States produced 13 mineral commodities in 2016 that were worth more than $1&nbsp;billion each and the estimated value of total U.S. industrial minerals&nbsp;production in 2016 was $51.6 billion, 5 percent more than that of 2015.Slower growth in consumption for metals &ndash; especially in China &ndash; &nbsp;and excess production, resulted in low prices in 2015 and early 2016 for most metals. This caused the value of 2016 U.S. metal mine production to drop to $23 billion, a 5 percent loss compared to 2015.While the report looks at mineral commodities across the nation, eleven states individually produced more than $2 billion worth of nonfuel mineral commodities in 2016. These states were (in descending order of value): Nevada, Arizona, Texas, California, Minnesota, Florida, Alaska, Michigan, Wyoming, Missouri and Utah.The USGS Mineral Resources Program delivers unbiased science and information to understand mineral resource potential, production, consumption and how minerals interact with the environment. The USGS National Minerals Information Center collects, analyzes, and disseminates current information on the supply of and the demand for minerals and materials in the United States and about 180 other countries. This information is essential in planning for and mitigating impacts of potential disruptions to mineral commodity supply due to both natural hazard and man-made events.The USGS reportMineral Commodity Summaries 2017is available online.&nbsp;Hardcopies will be available later in the year from the Government Printing Office, Superintendent of Documents. For ordering information, please call&nbsp;(202) 512-1800&nbsp;or&nbsp;(866) 512-1800&nbsp;or&nbsp;goonline.For more information on this report and individual mineral commodities, please visit theUSGS National Minerals Information Centerwebsite.&nbsp;To keep up-to-date on USGS mineral research,&nbsp;follow us onTwitter.

Hedge Funds Bet The Commodity Revival Will Keep Rolling In 2017
https://www.thetrustedinsight.com/investment-news/hedge-funds-bet-the-commodity-revival-will-keep-rolling-in-2017-20170104110/
Commodities had a resurgence in 2016, with the first annual advance since 2010. The gains will continue next year for many of the markets, at least that&#39;s what hedge funds are signalling. Money managers boosted their combined net-long position, or bets on prices gains, across 18 commodities by 9.7 per cent in December, government data shows. A year earlier, the funds were net-short, or wagering on declines. Investors last week added to bullish positions in cotton, cattle, crude oil and soybean meal, but aren&#39;t optimistic for corn, cocoa and wheat. After five straight years of losses, raw materials rebounded as...

The Best and Worst Funds Of 2016

Hedge Fund Winners and Losers Emerge as Year Ends on Better Note
https://www.thetrustedinsight.com/investment-news/hedge-fund-winners-and-losers-emerge-as-year-ends-on-better-note-20161228924/
This was the year to ridicule hedge funds. Pension funds, politicians, Warren Buffett, even hedge fund managers themselves -- they all had something to say about the disappointing performance, high fees and market saturation. Well-known managers from Ray Dalio to John Paulson saw performance on their main funds range from flat to double-digit losses, while some distressed-debt investors like Jason Mudrick benefited from the rally in commodities prices. Strategies focused on macro trends and equity hedges -- which have seen returns crimped by swollen stock-market valuations and ultra-low interest rates -- produced the worst returns.

Hedge Funds Witnessed Outflows Of $29.2B In September
https://www.thetrustedinsight.com/investment-news/hedge-funds-witnessed-outflows-of-292b-in-september-20161028433/
The hedge fund industry is facing a difficult time. Q3 2016 flows were the industry&rsquo;s fourth consecutive quarterly outflow, and monthly data, including redemptions in September, does not show many positive themes. Unlike prior periods of elevated redemption pressures, public financial markets are not clearly operating as if we are in the midst of, nor exiting a crisis period. This means the current flow trends are more emblematic of an industry in crisis. For every highlight, one could find a flaw. Managed futures are experiencing a good run of inflows, but recent returns may cause that to stall. Commodities have...

Commodity hedge funds have had a record first half, but it&rsquo;s unlikely the second half will see the same kind of performance, that&rsquo;s according to Barclays&rsquo; commodities research analyst Kevin Norris. Commodity funds have reported record inflows this year. Inflows into commodities now total $51 billion year-to-date the strongest since 2009 (only by $1 billion) when commodity assets were at the start of a three-year boom. However, while every month so far this year has seen inflows into commodity investments overall, flows slowed during July as it seems that investors are now looking to take profits. Norris makes the point...
